Miners Urged to Claim Refund
A Yorkshire MP has urged miners to move quickly to demand a refund from a Barnsley law firm found guilty of misconduct over compensation claims.The Wentworth MP is reminding former miners and their families that complaints must be lodged with Barnsley solicitors Raleys by the end of February.
In November the firm wrote to 22,000 customers who had deductions paid to the NUM.
Raleys Solicitors took over£7.5m from Miners compensation payouts and passed it to the Miners union. In return the NUM provided Raleys with up to 29,000 clients.
Three Raleys solicitors were suspended for professional misconduct a year ago after a tribunal found the firm failed to act in the best interests of its clients and the NUM deal was of no real benefit to the clients.
Mr Healey MP for Wentworth said: “I know from constituents that not all those who might be entitled to claim back money have received the letters, some may have moved house or want to claim on behalf of deceased relatives.
“Raleys are only giving you until the end of February to reply to this offer, so if constituents haven’t received a letter and think fees may have been deducted from compensation, they should get in touch. I want every miner or their family who is entitled to it to claim this money.”
